The seminars
The research school organizes a monthly seminar where each member is required to give talks on different subjects for the benefit of the other members of the school. One obvious benefit of this is that the students gain experience in presenting topics within their field to other researcher not neccesarily working in the exact same area. Furthermore, the topics are focused on experimental techniques and their applications in various fields of materials science and nanotechnology, thereby giving the students insight into other fields than their own.
